I built a simplified Android launcher for seniors

Hacker News

Hello everyone, I built this app for a family member, which allows me to set up a simple home screen with selected apps and optional contacts, while locking down everything else to avoid mistakenly changing anything. Another reason for creating this app was that the existing launchers for seniors had confusing or not good UI for home screen. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eldo.launc... Would love to hear the feedback.
